OKC Councilman Skip Kelly Arrested 1/20/2012 - Drunk Driving

Larry, having a prelim before the general election wouldn't preclude him from the race, nor from winning, nor from serving.

The formal arraignment, if bound over for trial, would come after the prelim itself, and most likely after the general election anyhow under normal basic time frame. Then pre-trial motions come after that, and then, at some later date a trial, if one is held. All that presumes being bound over for trial at the prelim. hearing (and a bind over order may or may not happen depending on the evidence presented.)

Hearing postponed until March 15, 2013:
- 14 months after his arrest;
- Six weeks after the January 31 filing date;
- 10 days after the primary election date; and
- Two weeks before the general election.

I hope that he draws a solid opponent. Who are the likely people to challenge him?

Not likely in Ward 7

Sid, it's not worth much. I know prominent people in Deep Deuce that would be an excellent fit for council, and they want to run, but they won't touch Ward 7 seat with a 10 foot pole because of the politics to get elected in that district.

Too risky to explain on a message board if you can't read between the lines.

That's fine then. It just seems unusual to post something like that in a forum without any information to explain what it means without being an insider.

For what it's worth, Deep Deuce is now in Ward 7.

it always has been ..

[BoulderSooner]

Many apologies. I got the wrong impression from what someone told me recently. I thought some of the recent changes made included adding Deep Deuce into Ward 7. Sorry about that.

no worries .. there was some talk about moving deep deuce and bricktown into ward 6 ... but that talk never got very far ..

Rarely at a loss for words, frequently lobbing zingers hither and yon, but when it comes to ward 7 folks need to just read between the lines so you can shrink and slink from some topic you consider too risky.

wow ... it's a mystery.

Majority of DD residents: Affluent whites.
Majority of Ward 8 residents: Non-affluent blacks.

Did I win?

[Just the facts]

If by Ward 8, you actually mean Ward 7, then yes - I think you win.
